Regression coefficients for dietary sugar intake and sodium intake quintiles in those with and without hypertension after excluding all with a history of cardiovascular disease

Sodium Group	Hypertension/No CVD (N = 13 314)	No Hypertension/No CVD (N = 22 417)
Quintile 1 (0.06‐2.6 g/d)	30.2 (26.0 to 34.4)	33.3 (30.2 to 36.4)
Quintile 2 (2.6‐3.0 g/d)	11.9 (8.4 to 15.5)	9.1 (6.8 to 11.4)
Quintile 3 (3.0‐3.4 g/d)	(Ref)	(Ref)
Quintile 4 (3.4‐4.0 g/d)	−10.1 (−13.5 to −6.8)	−10.8 (−13.0 to −8.6)
Quintile 5 (4.0‐29.3 g/d)	−24.4 (−27.7 to −21.1)	−22.4 (−24.4 to −20.4)

All P values are <.001 for comparison of each sodium quintile to sodium quintile 3 (Reference Group).

Numbers represent the regression coefficient with the 95% confidence interval in parentheses.
